Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
I don’t see many 1970s CJ-5s with half cabs.

This was just sooo sad.
“I have a 59 willys jeep for sale or trade. The body has alot of rot but the frame is solid. It does run but needs work.the plow works but needs some welding done. No title. Comes with a few spare parts. Will trade for minute mount push plates for 98 chevy tahoe or performance parts for a 82 sportster or a chevy 350.”

UPDATE: Still Available
(07/30/2011) Tom is selling his CJ-5 with front and rear PTOs.
“Below are pictures of my 1960 Willys CJ5. It has a switchblade plow,
PTO, new tires,fiberglass tub, skid plates. Everything works and the engine runs great. I have had it for 20 years and it was going to be a winter project, restoring it to original, but sand is running out of the hour glass and I finally realize that I will not get to it, so I am selling it. I am
asking $1500.”

Rare PTO winch (not electric), includes 2 extra sets of mounted tires, one set studded. Have all maintenance records since purchased in 1997. Has rust and will be a project for total restoration.

I thought the coloring on this was unusual.

http://missoula.craigslist.org/cto/2605404624.html

This is either a scam or a great price.
“Original ’56 Willys Jeep, 4 cyl – 3 speed w/overdrive. New brakes, new clutch, new top, new tires, original paint, Rancho suspension.”
This looks like a solid and stock CJ-5.

Runs and drives.
“1962 cj5 f134 4 cyl 3 speed twin stick transfer case. Jeep runs drives and stops. Drove up to 15 miles last summer with no trouble. Wouldn’t suggest putting on road without some work but would serve well on farm or at hunt camp. Has folding tow bar and steel hard top.”
I suspect the pictures don’t do this CJ-5 justice.
“1960’s Jeep Willys CJ-5 in excellent condition for sale. Looks like it just rolled off the production floor. Fully restored to original and hardly driven since, only has 586 miles on the restored engine. Hurricane-4 cylinder engine and 3 speed transmission, including high low and 4 wheel/2 wheel drive levers. Shifts smoothly through all gears and runs great.

– Original restored dash
– Lap seat belts on newly covered vinyl seats
– Original canvas top
– Working winch on front.

This is supposed to have an overdrive. And I this might run, too.
“1955 Jeep Willies. All original trans and straight 4-cyl engine. Granny gear and over drive. Body is in great condition. Used as a ranch truck before. Very original.”
This is kind of cool.

“This could be such a cool Jeep. Needs someone that wants a fun project. We have to many and we need to let this one go fast. please text if interested.”
Brett spotted this CJ-5.
“Classic CJ5 (1967 – no emissions required)
Original 4 cylinder motor runs great, brakes work great, heater, wipers, 4×4, lights… all work fine.
Factory hard top (removable) rare roll up windows (also working fine). All door locks work.
Original seats. Need to be recovered, but rare to find the fold forward bench up front and original bench in the back.
Some surface rust here and there, but no serious rot. Just an all around solid jeep with excellent restoration potential, but ready to drive/off-road anywhere today.
Please call or email with any questions. Thanks, Chris 801-831-0741”
I think this probably scrap .. but you never know
“2-Early 60’s Willys Jeeps $600. Both are currently not running. Bodies almost completely gone, see pictures below.
One was last running two years ago, it was used to level off a yard area. When the brake lines broke, it was parked, it still turns over but does not start. It has a plow with hydraulic lift only, it worked when it was put away. No battery.
The second Jeep was gotten for parts years ago, at the time I was told the head gasket was bad, I never checked.
I believe the drive train on both is complete.
No paper work, neither have been registered for over 20 years.
I’m selling them for $600 firm, because I will get just over that for scrap. If no sale is made they are going to the port.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
Here’s a later model CJ-5 with a rear PTO. This looks like a good price!
“1964 jeep has 4-cylinder motor jeep runs and drives but does need brakes. has rare pto hook up at the back of the jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500/each
Only one of the jeeps is pictured.
“The one in the pic is a kaiser jeep, there are 2 more willys in the same shape.didnt want to scrap without trying tolist first. let me know if you want them 500$ a piece”
I think I seem some bubbling paint along the front fender edge, but this still might not be that bad of price.
“1957 Jeep Willis, O.H.V., 4 cyl. 3 speed, Lock Outs, $1500.00 OBO”

I’ve seen Willys treated worse. This image comes from Tumblr.
